Pham Van Hien - Head of the Unit of Vietnamese Overseas Students in Szeged said the unit has more than 30 members who are alumni in Szeged (Hungary) since 1967. This is also the generation of Vietnamese students to study in Hungary.

Before the establishment of the unit, the new members had scattered activities such as meetings on anniversaries. The establishment gives members the chance to closely bond, and comply with the general regulations of the Vietnam - Hungary Friendship Association, to further contribute to the betterment of cultivating the friendship between the two peoples.

Hien said that after the official establishment, the unit will develop a plan to organize meetings with more diverse and practical content, organize regular cultural activities to increase understanding and spread the sentiment for Hungary to the Vietnamese people.

Speaking at the event, Tibor Baloghdi, Ambassador of Hungary to Vietnam, congratulated the newly established units and expressed his wish that more young people participate in activities to enhance the two countries' people-to-people friendship. The Ambassador said that the Hungarian National Day celebration held in Vietnam proves the friendship between the two countries.
